A couple things on the new website design...The woman is framed by the ouroboros, signifying life out of death. I'm not sure about the triangle, but I find it interesting that there's a black dot around where the "third eye" is supposed to be (plus her actual eyes are covered).

As far as the words underneath the woman,

Shamash - A Mesopotamian god, apparently god of the sun. Symbolizes justice, and dispels the darkness.
Kaj - In Armenian mythology, "spirits of storm and wind; can be both ugly and beautiful."

I could find anything relevant for the rest. Kynadenadine came up with exactly zero results, while the rest were just completely random. Helva is apparently a food, and vus is 'seen' in French.

Researching some words in the text got me this:

Binah - "In its role as the ultimate Object, as opposed to Chokmah as the Subject, its role is similar to the role of Shakti in Indian mysticism. It is feminine, because it literally gives birth to the whole of creation, providing the supernal womb, with Chokmah providing the raw energy."
Scolecite - "a stone that awakens the heart... and facilitates deep inner peace and spiritual transformation"

Website
A few anomolies

So, I've been looking over the website for clues and I've run across some things that don't seem to fit? Red Herring or I'm too thick to connect the dots!

1. 4999999837 is a sequence in Pi. The first occurrence of a digit 6 times.
2. ITC TRANSMISSION is an actual company providing power in Michigan.
3. Haile isn't actually a word. It is a name. Haile Selassie was a Rastafari leader thought to be God incarnate.
4. twolight isn't a word. Maybe typo of twilight?

It seems that there are enough "breadcrumbs" on the website to lead somewhere, I'm just not sharp enough to put them all together!

I think I've got it.

I'm sure some of you have been following the events of Anthrolumena. I did some research after the latest update and I believe I've uncovered it.

From the website: "LIGHT <SOPHIA> DARK"

A search reveals the website http://anaiyasophia.com/

An author, apparently very spiritual.

Searching for "Elijah", the person we've been emailing with, in relation to the website, reveals: http://anaiyasophia.com/facilitators/elijah-parker

Elijah Parker, a "Facilitator" of the "Womb & Hara Initiation", a process offered by http://onedoorland.com/womb-hara-initiation/

"One Door Land" offers Alchemy (alchemical symbols are frequent on Anthrolumena) sessions as well as the Initiation which is described as "an amazing practice designed to access the wisdom of the womb as a sacred temple for re-birthing ourselves and all humanity."
( http://www.musemansion.com/the-pulse-womb-and-hara-initiation.html )

Back to anaiyasophia.com, on the home page is a recording which talks about Sophia, the giver of light and holy mother, an audio reading of the first chapter of the book "Rose Knight" by Anaiya Sophia.

This matches with a lot of the language on Anthrolumena.

From Anthrolumena -- "I Binah, I the void, I the grail, I the form giver, I holy mother"

"Binah" may refer to Binah Zing, another "Facilitator" of Anaiya Sophia. http://anaiyasophia.com/facilitators/binah-zing

Facilitator's are described as: "people listed here have completed the 9-month Sacred Sexual Union Training Process with Anaiya Sophia. They are highly recommended and skilled facilitators of this work, as well as developing their own personal expression and forte of this great journey."

Of particular interest, from Elijah's page: "Elijah holds Power Love Wisdom embodied weekend intensives with Bina Zing at the Alchemical Art Sanctuary they have founded."

I believe that's as conclusive as it gets.

Searching for Binah Zing on Facebook reveals her page: https://www.facebook.com/binahzing

In her photos is the same one used on http://anaiyasohpia.com -- https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=627546719990&set=a.522786041230.2033086.80900964&type=1&theater

Her Facebook page describes her as "Game Master at Make Love to the Mystery School" -- The current Anthrolumena page describes the "rules of gameplay."

Her Facebook page also lists her as "engaged to Elijah Parker".

Her page additionally links to Elijah's -- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=7957420

His page links to several interesting videos, such as http://vimeo.com/101470081 -- which in turn links back to Onedoorland.

Frequently mentioned is the significance of the "womb", a staple from onedoorland and anaiyasophia.

Elijah is listed as a graduate from Lloyd V. Berkener High School in Richardson, TX, as well as having studied Film at University of Texas, Austin.

Finally, Elijah's profile links us to Anaiya Sophia herself -- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=553621889

Her profile describes herself as an "Enchantress at The Order of Holy Sophia, December 22, 1969 to present". We may assume that Dec 22, 1969 is her Date of Birth.

Her page has hundreds, if not thousands of photos, ranging from Game of Thrones to Jesuit/Christian imagery to Landscapes to portraits of herself and friends.

The photos are overwhelmingly spiritual and take place in locations ranging from Portland, OR to San Francisco to Churches to caves, as well as Womb-centric imagery.

PHOTOS:
Egyption / Anubian (Anthroumena) -- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=553621889&sk=photos&collection_token=553621889%3A2305272732%3A69&set=a.10150489653671890.362264.553621889&type=3
Caving -- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=553621889&sk=photos&collection_token=553621889%3A2305272732%3A69&set=a.10152096052061890.1073741860.553621889&type=3
Portraits -- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=553621889&sk=photos&collection_token=553621889%3A2305272732%3A69&set=a.423104641889.209232.553621889&type=3

However, it does not appear that either Binah Zing or Anaiya Sophia is "The Lady" from Anthrolumena ( http://anthrolumena.com/the-lady.png )

EDIT: I did make this account for the sheer purpose of posting this.

Also, I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from this. Marketing, perhaps?

lurking
I'm not sure, but the website for Anaiya Sophia seems a bit odd somehow. I could be totally off base, though.

also hoping it isn't marketing >.<

looking around

well, the name of the site fits the spiritual theme.
anthro - human
lumena- suggesting light

The Elijah Parker facebook page says he works at Subliminal Phoenix, the facebook page says it is "biotechnology" and "subconscious tools for personal growth and transformation"

A lot of the stuff on the Subliminal Phoenix site sounds similar, though I've never heard anything about this sort of thing. At the bottom of the 'about' page, there's a contact email for Elijah Parker.
It says he works with computers (a "digital Wizard") so it could be a marketing thing, though I fail to see the connection between spirituality and this. I do get the alchemy connection. Spiritual alchemy. Okay. But the picture on the website now is throwing me off. As far as I can find, none of the symbols mean anything in alchemy (except maybe the triangle meaning fire). In fact, I can't find anything on them or anything sensical about the words or numbers in the picture.

I may be missing something, but what's the bit about the ones being contacted initiating gameplay? Anything on that? Is there supposed to be more?
I missed the time frame to be a part of the emailing so I am merely going off of what has been posted to the forum.

MelancholyMarionette - You should give emailing him a shot. Worst thing that would happen is he doesn't answer, right?

That said, I haven't heard anything back past the first email. Anyone else?

Sure, I can email. I'm just not sure what to say.
With all the symbols and things, I have no idea how to approach an email in this context.
Any input?

Hmm...Well, when I sent mine in, I just made up a key (color + shape) and put that in the title of the email. Since yours is a little bit late, maybe add something about how you had been following the website for some time and wish to be initiated.

The email is through the subliminal phoenix business site. It isn't the same email as the anthrolumena.
I'm not sure if that would be an odd approach to email him that to his business email?
What do you think?

I suppose I was confused about which email you meant. I'll send to that one and see if I get anything back

 Re: looking around
Not correct

The assumption that anthrolumena was connected to Elijah Parker or Anaiyasophia.com is wrong.

My brother told me a few days ago that he dated a girl who participated in the Anthrolumena ARG. She told him it was actually a research project by a well funded organization that were using Anthrolumena as a dry run for something called SOVRYN. SOVRYN is intended to be a new religion of some sort that will take the place of major monotheistic religions like Christianity, Islam, etc. Heh heh pretty fuggin ambitious that is!

This chick joined, here name is Julie btw, and my brother said a week later she completely changed. Personality changed just like that. She dumped him and told him to never call her again after dating for 3 months and having a seemingly good relationship. She stopped drinking and smoking like falling out of a tree. Bizarre.

She won't talk to him no matter what he does. She removed her facebook page and just stopped being who she was.

I have been trying to find out who actually participated to find out more about what this thing is all about. I have another friend who is a documentary film maker and we are trying to figure if this is a bigger story than anyone currently realizes.

Can anyone here discuss what they know please?

Sovryn.io
Correcting a false assumption

http://anaiyasophia.com/ is definitely not connected to www.anthrolumena.com

Anthrolumena has now morphed into Sovryn.io and it's doing something right now
